Answer:
a. 
b. x = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
a. The number of home runs hit by Jack last season = x
It is given that Henry hit 3 more than half as many home runs as Jack hit.
Half of the runs hit by Jack = 
3 more than half the runs = 
So, the number of home runs hit by Henry = 
But, it is given that Henry hit a total of 8 runs.
Therefore, 
b. 
Subtract 3 from both sides.

= 5
x = 5 × 2
= 10
Hence, Jack hit 10 runs in the last season.
What are we supposed to answer
Answer option a is the answer
The unit price would be $1.25
Because:
175 ÷ 140 = 1.25
They would earn $312.50
Because:
1.25 × 250 = 312.5

Let x = original price in dollars
x is the original price
9% of this original price is equal to 0.09x
subtract: x - 0.09x = 0.91x
The discount price is equal to 0.91x and it's equal to 90 dollars, so they must be the same value. Ie.
0.91x = 90
0.91x/0.91 = 90/0.91
x = 98.9010989
x = 98.90
So the original price is $<span>98.90</span>
